i know thats the bar, what i was saying is have that bar still..but instead of the s/c'r way over on the right side of the car by the battery...maybe in the middle running in front of the manifold...if it would fit. it'd be a smaller bar...and easier to spin..robbing less HP..but say it robs 15HP from the bar for it all to spin...ur still gaining 70-100+HP after its done....just a suggestion lol.

That's the compressor. Turbines don't exist on superchargers. The turbine is the exhaust side pinwheel (for lack of a better way of putting it) of a turbo.
Although, technically speaking, a turbocharger is a type of supercharger.

Well, I hope RIPP gets all the kinks worked out and have a solid, newbie friendly kit to put out like ive been hearing out there. Well, with the exception of one or two people...
The idea of HP ready for me each time I shift without the need for spool is nice

When you say No-Weld for the oil return line do you mean that you use JB weld or something.. and do you need to Tap a line into the bottom portion of the block.. and also .. where do you guys tap your feed lines into.. just curious and getting some of the questions out of the way for the guys who are going to get this kit... and im assuming it comes with all the T's needed in the kit.. for vaccume lines and what not..

The No-Weld line is quite literally that. It threads into the oil pan using an interesting nut/hose combo, so no cutting/welding is needed.. They've posted the pic elsewhere and it should be on their site.

u said to run it 6-10 hrs...u mean just let it idle? or lightly drive it? thats a long time to let it idle, i guess its to get all the oil and stuff running through the system and to get the ecu reset to the much added power...right?
